Welcome
The Faculty Senate is the body empowered to act as agent for the University faculty, with delegated power to formulate broad policies in regard to the educational functions of the University. The Senate plays an important role in the governance structure of the University and is committed to shared governance not only as a concept but as a fundamental precept.
The Faculty Senate is charged to initiate, promote, and ensure the enforcement of policies involving academic and intellectual freedom and concerns itself in all matters of faculty status and welfare. There are 36 Senators, 6 of whom represent the non-tenure track faculty. The tenure/tenure track seats are determined by the number of the University's FTE faculty within each voting unit. All Senators serve three year terms. The current Faculty Senate President is Meera Komarraju, Department of Psychology (618-453-3529).
